September 2, 2024Amazing - highlight of the party!
I booked Jay and Lee as well as the wonderful flamenco dancer for a 30th flamenco-themed birthday party. Jay and Lee are incredibly talented musicians and they both had such great, positive energy! The flamenco dancer was fantastic and encouraged everyone else to join the dance floor as well. Everyone had a great time enjoying the music and dancing. Communication was perfect and the group was punctual! All in all, I highly recommend this group for any type of event!!
